Specialty Brews

The Bomb

Irish-style Dry Stout (3.6% ABV): At the 2014 World Beer Cup, the Bomb won the Gold Award for the Irish-style Dry Stout category. Moon River Brewing brews this smooth black ale in the tradition of Irish-style dry stout. In describing this style, we often use terms that are seemingly contradictory. The Bomb's hue is as dark as a tomb though it is exceptionally light in body. We employ roasted barley to yield a bold, coffee-like richness, yet the Bomb finishes tangy and bright on the palate. Finally, despite its inky black color and intensity of flavor, it is one of our lowest in alcohol. Malt: Maris Otter, Roast; Hops: UK Target

Tripka's Big Barleywine

Barrel-aged English-style Barleywine (13.0% ABV): Brewed in collaboration Mike Tripka, President of the Savannah Brewers League, this monster barleywine is not for the faint of heart. Rich flavors of toffee, dried fruit and caramel dance on the tongue, traits reminiscent of a fine port or sherry. A full year of rest in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels served to smooth out the rough edges of this beast, adding complimentary flavors of bourbon and wood, and making you forget that it clocks in at 13%. Malts: Maris Otter, Pale Chocolate, Crystal 44, CaraFoam; Hops: Target, Brewers Gold, Fuggle

8 oz. Pour

Cosmic Terror

American Pale Ale (5.7% ABV): Contemplation of our surplus of Australian Galaxy hops left us in an existential crisis. We almost went mad thinking of a way to properly pay tribute to this gift from the elder hop gods. While still entranced by the whispers of juicy passion fruit and citrus, we somehow managed to formulate a crisp, refreshing pale ale to serve as a showcase for the qualities of our new hop obsession. Galaxy lends a smooth bitterness, big fruit flavor in the whirlpool addition, and overwhelming tropical aroma thanks to a monolithic dry-hop. When you stare into an empty pint glass, don't be surprised if it stares back! Malts: Maris Otter, Crystal 77, Wheat; Hops: Galaxy

The delivery was a little slow at first in the drinks but I think the server just wasn’t comfortable using the drink tray as he brought out the drinks two at a time instead of all at once. The food was great and the server wasn’t too attentive so he wasn’t constantly interrupting conversation. The food was delicious. I had the tacodilla and it was some of the best brisket I’ve had.

Great food and beer! Was a little put off by the hostess who called and in a snippy way advised if 80% of our party wasn't there our reservation would be cancelled. However, the food was so good I forgot all about her.

Food was very disappointing and took forever. When our food did finally arrive it was wrong. Management did not handle the situation professionally. The only positive about the entire experience was our server. She was great. I will never eat there again nor will I ever recommend this restaurant to anybody.

The service was great, but the kitchen messed up badly. It was only after 4/5 meals were ready to be brought to the table that the kitchen told the server they were out of the 5th meal. Management made it right and comped the 5th meal so that was appreciated, but other meals were missing bacon and the made up burger came out well done rather than medium. I’d give it another chance.

Went for dinner & drinks. Wait staff was very friendly. Food is standard pub/bar food. Served quickly. Place is nice, we sat inside because it was raining, but I think we would have enjoyed sitting outside more had the weather cooperated.

This was a special trip to Savannah and wanted to experience all the "good places". This restaurant was highly recommended. It is a fun place, the service was very good but can't say the food was all that great. The Fried Green tomatoes had a good flavor but they were overcooked so that the coating was hard. The Tacodillos (brisket soft tacos) were bland and the brisket was very tough. The French Fries were good and our waiter was very good. ***Didn't see any ghost :)

Loved it.... whenever we have guests staying at our home, we love to bring them to Moonriver.... we know that the service and food will be good and that our guest will enjoy the experience..... I love to tell them the ghost story-adds to the whole experience.

Good beer selection and they had all on the list. Food was fine but nachos were not up to par. Very good overall.

Food was just average, nothing was terrible but also nothing stood out as particularly great. The beer was also kind of boring and mediocre, though I have high expectations for beer from craft breweries.

We have brought many friends here to eat since moving here in May and have had excellent service and food.... we love the food choices... This last visit, the waitress was not the most attentive or on the ball.... when asked, she didn't know what the special of the day was.... glasses (drink) has left empty and we had to get her attention to get refilled.... almost as if it was first day of waitressing.... food was great

This might be an ok place if you expect the bad service and it's not a special night. We made a reservation, but were seated under a music speaking right next to the restrooms and a very loud party. The music was loud enough that we had to tell to communicate. The waitress understood and agreed that it wasn't a good spot and told us that if we went to the outside tables, they could seat us immediately. The hostess there 9/2/2017 was so rude! We explained what had taken place inside, and she responded unapologetically, "they don't know anything about what goes on out here. If you want to be seated, it will be 20 minutes." We understand there is a bad apple for every bunch, so we just said okay and had our names placed on the list. After 20 minutes, we decided to check if we'd been called (it was very noisy and crowded). This time, the second hostess rolled her eyes and said, "just put them over there." We were sat at a spot that had been empty the whole time we were waiting. The table had water rings and food bits and had clearly not been cleaned off. I know this to be a health code violation because I work in food service. The person I was with wiped the table and seats off with there hand before sitting and the hostess said she bring some napkins (instead of sanitizing it properly). She did not bring napkins. After 10 minutes, our waitress showed up and asked us what we wanted to drink, when we said water and beer, she told us to get our own water from a 5 gallon cooler set up outside. We asked for a moment to decide, talked it over, and decided we had enough of the rudeness and decided to leave without ordering. On the way out the hostess chuckled and said "have a good night". It was really unbelievably bad. We were considering carrying this brew in our restaurant, but had a bad experience with the rep too. Too bad. Really wanted to support a local place.

We were visiting Savannah for Labor Day Weekend and decided to have dinner here. The menu had a variety of choices and the food was delicious! The humus and salsa appetizer was awesome! Our waitress was very attentive even with a full house. We will definitely go back on our next visit!

Each time I go to Moon River, I'm pleased. It's a great restaurant. Service is great. The food is outstanding, especially the wings. The beer is wonderful. I suggest ordering the taster and sample the bears with their history. Very interesting.

If we even think to come back to Moon River, it will be as a delivery order. The hostess was unfriendly and barely looked at us when we walked in, then proceeded to set our menus down at a table without even speaking to us. It took our waitress 11 minutes just to get to us..when we were 1 of 4 tables in the restaurant...at 5pm on a Monday..there was a bartender and 4 other waitress who walked by us multiple times, made eye contact, but did not say a word. Once our waitress finally got to us we went ahead and ordered our entrees. We did not see her again. The food was brought out by someone who set the food down and did not say a word. The food was quite good. We finished our food and proceeded to sit and wait for our waitress to come into view. We asked for the check, and showed our waitress a coupon that would take $3 off of our large plate (found on Yelp!). She said we could use it then walked back not even 45seconds later with our check...that did not include the $3 off coupon. We addressed this saying we just spoke about it and her response was "Y'all just showed me that and I haven't gone to talk to my manager that" so instead of speaking to her manager first, she added an entire step. Appalled by the way we were treated in this restaurant (having myself be a server of 6 years, and the person I was with owns their own local restaurant) we left enough cash to cover the check and tip, then left before she was able to return to our table with the correct receipt.

The food was delicious but the wait was horrendous. I'm not sure if the kitchen was just having an off night. A couple of tables around us just got up and left. We were the almost 2 hours and not because we wanted to be. We've had good experiences here in the past so I'm hopeful it was just an off day for them.

This was our 2nd visit to Moon River and both times the food and service were great! We both had burgers and they were tasty. We also had the chips and salsa and the deviled eggs and seafood spread. The egg portion was kinda sad(only 3 eggs) and the spread wasn't great but chips and salsa were good.

Busy restaurant. Made a reservation and was seated right away. Our server was very friendly. She did not check back with us very often but was still good. The food was good and came out quickly. Overall it was a good experience.

Service was a little slow to get started but it was filling up as we arrived. Once she came over it was all good. Food was really good, and I had the yoga pants IPA which was good, a little bitter, but good. My wife had the fillet and I had a burger, her fillet was slightly undercooked and my burger was slightly over cooked, both were still flavorful and delivious

We're locals and have been here a few times. Today we ordered a Bloody Mary and it tasted DISGUSTING. The manager refused to take it off our check even though we drank none of it and ordered plenty of other meals and beers, etc. Do yourself a favor and never order any of their bar cocktails (their bartenders are only capable of pouring beers) or try to interact with unreasonable management.

We were in Savannah for one night, having traveled from Raleigh. I ordered the crab melt, which was good. My teenage children ordered the three Tacodillas - the serving size was rather small. They were definitely hungry when they finished their meals.

We have been here twice now and it is just "okay". Feels similar to a chain like Long Horn where the wooden tables are sticky and the menu is "the usual". This visit we did the full tasting of Moon River beers. Although we wanted that to be fun, most of the beer was actually not good, sadly! The service was okay at first then super slow - although she was pleasant enough. When I say slow, I mean like, waiting with our plates stacked up and please bring us a bill so we can leave slow. It's a big place and both times we had no trouble walking right in to sit down (once without a reservation and again with a last-minute reservation thru open table as we were trying to get to a show on time).
